Clean Text is an application for those times when you have to paste some text copied from one document or application into another, and you want the text to get the attributes (such as color, font, dimension and style) of the new document instead of preserving the attributes copied from the old one. Clean Text for Mac eliminates all text formatting, preparing it for pasting.

Just wanted to note that the System requirements listed here on MacUpdate (10.5) are not correct for this version. The last version that worked with OS 10.5 was CleanText 6.5.1.71

I'm on a MacBook, so the screen real estate is not as big as a desktop mac. Upon launch, the app will have a default size that does not remember its previous size. This size, which I have no control of, goes larger than my screen real estate, which makes it impossible to resize and use. Some of the functions were under my docK! Because of this issue, I have to get another window resizing app just to properly size the window.
Also, there's no reason to have such a large minimum width limit. Please allow it to scale down gracefully.
If the above issues are addressed, this app will be a 5-star product.

They offer more or less the same functionality but TextSoap wins: it's more simple to write your own actions and the services are more useful than those of Clean Text.
However: Clean Text offers all I need out of the box. I don't mind opening the app and make all the tweaks I need in the app. If you want to automate everything and don't mind paying more (and enjoy a more refined interface) you will like TextSoap more.

Does anyone have any feedback to contribute based on experience with both applications?

Even though there have been NO UPDATES since march of 2007, they have raised the price yet again ...
was $15, then 20, then $25, now its up to $35. With no improvements. I really don't know what they are thinking. The product may be OK, but if all their development effort is limited to updating the product price list, well, not a good sign.
(I guess we can expect version 5.0.0.0 to be priced at about $50 or so by end of 2008)

I gave it a fairly thorough run through and found nearly no changes to the version I currently own and use (3.4.1).
I agree with you, I don't know what the heck this company has been doing with their products other than raising their prices.
No thanks.
